Chainlink Admin: Please disble further comments from my last post about San Hamel

I did not mean to create a forum where people go back and forth attacking each other.

When I posted it I was angry finding out the details of the case surrounding my friends death. I was trying to create unity around the fact that this is a horrific thing and am also trying to grieve. It is true that I do not know San Hamel or what kind of person he is but what he did has devastated me and anyone who ever had the privilege of coming across Bobby Cann.   

What I did not what is this back and forth mud slinging that I have been watching occur all day. I am quite sickened and upset by it and do not find it helpful for anyone.

I do not know how to disable further comments or remove the post all together. So please would the organizers of Chainlink do this for me. 

Thanks

Before this happened to Bobby (I didn't know him but it still felt quite emotional for me when mass stopped for him), I was having the sense that traffic seemed to be way more aggressive/careless this year compared to years past. I hope we don't have any more accidents like this this summer. It defiantly feels weird out there more often than not.

According to this thing:

http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/dsd... one's license is suspended effective on the 31st or 46th day AFTER a DUI offense! I hope I'm interpreting it incorrectly.

Not to add fuel to this fire, but does it really matter if his license is suspended/revoked/taken away/etc.????

How many times have you heard of someone being arrested again, after MULTIPLE DUI arrests? Or finding out someone has been arrested 29 times for DUI ? I see it alot. There are blotters all over the country where that is happening. Unfortunately, we are bound by the laws and rules, and only the ones that don't follow the rules/laws (criminals) will do whatever they want to.

Now, stating that, we do even have some of those in our bicycling community. You may be friends with them or not. But that is the truth.

This turd will be out on the street driving his vehicle (or another) probably the very day he was released. With or without a license (just like people drive without insurance). He (and his friends & family) will reason that he needs to get to work, pick up groceries, pick up the kids, etc. He will promise God and everyone that he will be a safe and careful driver (and he will be....until the next party/ get-together/ weekend/ weekday/etc., where he feels like he neds a drink.)

I am truly sorry for a completely unecessary death. I don't know if he was a good or bad person. I didn't know him personally (at least I don't remember meeting him). May his soul Rest In Peace.

Where I get angry is at all the people that decided that they should stop riding their bikes because of this incident. Whether it is on your block/sidewalk or on the street. Casual or Commuter of Competitive. If that is the mentality that you have, then don't step out of your house....you might get the newest strain of Avian Flu, or a Nile-Virus infected mosquito will choose you as it's next meal, or that same drunk driver (with a revoked or suspended license) will run you over when he doesn't see the red light while you are in the crosswalk (because he was ...guess what?!?!?!....drunk.... AGAIN !), or.....

Sorry. Got a bit angry there. But you get the drift....

Stop being afraid of the things that you have absolutely no power to change.

And if you do think that we can change things, figure out a way, and attack !!!! We will back you up.

 

Thank you for letting me vent a bit.

Have a Great Day !

 

Respectfully,

 

Manny
